ARE YOU GUYS READY?!?!

I am super-thrilled to be hosting the lovely and talented JEN NADOL for this leg of the YA Scavenger Hunt!

About Jen: Jen Nadol grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania and graduated from American University with a BA in literature. She’s lived in Washington DC, Boston, NYC and now, an old farmhouse north of the city with her husband and three sons. When she’s not writing, she’s probably tending to the farmhouse or the sons, reading, cooking, skiing, or sleeping.

Jen’s featured book on this hunt is called THIS IS HOW IT ENDS. Isn’t that a cool title?! Makes me want to read it already! Are you guys ready to see the cover and read the summary? Drumroll please …

Riley and his friends are gearing up for their senior year by spending one last night hanging out in the woods, drinking a few beers, and playing Truth or Dare. But what starts out as a good time turns sinister when they find a mysterious pair of binoculars. Those who dare to look through them see strange visions, which they brush off as hallucinations. Why else would Riley see himself in bed with his best friend’s girlfriend—a girl he’s had a secret crush on for years?

In the weeks that follow, the visions begin to come true…including a gruesome murder. One of Riley’s closest friends is now the prime suspect. But who is the murderer? Have Riley and his friends really seen the future through those mysterious binoculars? And what if they are powerless to change the course of events?

Find out more information about this exciting book by checking out Jen’s website!

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

HUNT OVER. EXCLUSIVE CONTENT REMOVED. For more information on Jen’s books, please be sure to visit Jen’s website or check out her buy links for THIS IS HOW IT ENDS from Simon Pulse.

Whoa. Wasn’t that exciting? Want to learn more? Be sure to click on the links to Jen’s website to find out how you can get your hands on your very own copy of THIS IS HOW IT ENDS. Anyway, just for the record, I own THIRTEEN pairs of binoculars.

Don’t forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of signed books by me, Jen Nadol and more! To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is hidden somewhere in this post (hint: scroll up a bit – it’s in green and it’s about my weird obsession with binoculars). Add up all the favorite numbers of the authors on the green team and you’ll have all the secret code to enter for the grand prize! Also keep in mind that most of the authors are doing their own giveaways so there are many chances to win cool stuff.

While you’re here with me, be sure to enter the personal contest I’m hosting below for signed set of my Aquarathi Series, WATERFELL and OCEANBORN (including necklace, charm, tattoo, and wristband) OR your choice of any two of my books. In addition, TWENTY runner up winners will win an e-copy of my Aquarathi prequel novella, SEAMONSTER. Contest is international.

I want to write a book that’s probably the most important thing on my bucket list. I’d also love to travel Europe, and go bungee jumping and sky diving although I’m not sure my back could take me actually doing those last two.

Can I list three? The first three? 😀
Punch someone in the face (preferably a douche)because I’ve never punched someone in the face and I’m curious how satisfying it feels, Skydive, skate in a frozen waterfalls in Canada–yep, in that order! <3

My Bucket List- well, its very long. But to start off, I must say that it would be to sit on a rollercoaster without shutting my eyes and screaming like there’s no tomorrow (the screaming part is negotiable!!)

About The Author

AMALIE HOWARD grew up on a small Caribbean island where she spent most of her childhood with her nose buried in a book or running around barefoot, shimmying up mango trees, and dreaming of adventure. 25 countries, surfing with sharks, and several tattoos later, she has traded in bungee jumping in China for writing the adventures she imagines instead. She isn’t entirely convinced which takes more guts.
